PTDM plays a role in chronic allograft nephropathy and decreases graft and patient survival. Considering the serious outcome of chronic hyperglycemia, the importance of early recognition and the few data in children, in this retrospective analysis we studied the characteristics and risk factors of PTDM in 45 pediatric renal transplant recipients receiving Tac or CyA-based immunosuppression. Fasting blood sampling and OGTT were performed. PTDM has been developed in six patients (13%), while seven children (16%) had IGT, with the overall incidence of a glucose metabolic disorder of 29% in pediatric renal transplants. Patients in the PTDM + IGT group were younger and had higher systolic blood pressure and serum triglyceride level than children with normal glucose tolerance. Multivariate analysis identified Tac treatment, Tac trough level, steroid pulse therapy and family history of diabetes to be associated with the onset of PTDM. In pediatric renal transplants, OGTT and frequent assessment of blood glucose levels might be essential not only in the post-transplant management, but also prior to transplantation, particularly with family history of diabetes. Careful monitoring and modified protocols help to minimize the side effects of Tac and corticosteroids.

A refined kidney tumor nephrometry system employed to screen pediatric patients who are eligible for nephron sparing surgery.

Purpose: Comprehension of the anatomical characteristics of pediatric kidney tumors is crucial for making surgical decisions. Previous kidney tumor nephrometry systems failed to incorporate two significant factors: tumor thrombus and multifocality. We develop a refined nephrometry system based on a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics exhibited by pediatric kidney tumors.

Background: Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder resulting from variants in genes coding for the alpha-3/4/5 chains of Collagen IV, leading to defective basement membranes in the kidney, cochlea, and eye. The clinical manifestations of AS vary in patients. Cases of childhood AS caused by presenting primarily with nephrotic syndrome (NS) are rarely reported.

Paired box 2 ()-related disorder, also known as renal coloboma syndrome, is a variably penetrant autosomal dominant condition, associated with renal and ophthalmological abnormalities. We report a child with -related disorder who presented atypically with acute ataxia on a background of stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Extensive biochemical, radiological and gene agnostic rapid trio exome sequencing was non-diagnostic.

BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care

Department of Clinical Sciences, Pediatrics, Umeå University, Umea, Sweden.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate if individuals with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes having a parent with the same condition (parental diabetes) had worse metabolic control and an increased risk of death and renal failure compared with those with parents without type 1 diabetes (sporadic diabetes).
Research Design And Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study using data from the Swedish Childhood Diabetes Register, including cases with onset of type 1 diabetes before the age of 15 and recorded between 1977 and 2010. The cohort was linked to national registers to compare mortality, renal failure, and glycated hemoglobin (HBA1c) levels.
The effect of low donor-to-recipient body weight ratio on graft survival after dual kidney transplantation from pediatric deceased donors.

Organ Transplantation Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Dual kidney transplantation (DKT) from small pediatric donors, either en-bloc or split dual kidney transplantation, contributes to mitigating organ scarcity. This study investigates the prognosis of DKT from pediatric deceased donors, and influencing factors.
Method: A retrospective study included recipients who underwent DKT from pediatric donors between 2012 and 2022.
